What files does Kiro Sync manage?

It specifically synchronizes requirements.md, design.md, and tasks.md within the .kiro/ steering and specs directories.

How do I prevent accidental overwrites?

You can use the --dry-run flag to see proposed changes without writing them, or rely on the default conflict detection in bidirectional mode which flags overlaps.

Is EARS syntax preserved during the sync?

Absolutely. Kiro uses EARS syntax natively, and this skill ensures requirements pass through with only necessary ID prefix adjustments (like FR to REQ).

Does it support bidirectional updates?

Yes, it supports import, export, and bidirectional synchronization modes to keep your local specs and Kiro files aligned.
